“Lights UP, Sound Down—Sensory Friendly Movie Program”
“Rango”
On March 5th, 2011 @ 9:15am
This monthly program is open to all families & children BUT is specifically designed for families & children with Autism and Sensory Issues which make watching a movie during prime time hours challenging. During the movie the theater will be a little bit brighter (that’s the Lights Up part) and it will be a little bit quieter (that’s the Sound Down part). This special showing is specifically designed (with the help of parents that understand these challenges first hand) to allow families and children with Autism and related challenges to enjoy a REAL movie in a REAL movie theater.
* Concessions will be available for purchase. If you have a child on a special diet, please call : 734-612-3934, for details!
